The Right Way

I started to the liquor store the other day,

But halfway there I turned and I went the other way

I had a notion to go and check the ocean

Like nature cast a spell…

Well, there's no reason for the season to change today

But the season does what it wants, no matter what you say

And it it always changes, anyway.

So let's see what the season has brought us today.

So in my tin can with my seatbelt on

I sped toward the ocean tryin' to beat the sun

And as I arrived at where the land meets the Sea

I picked out a few good lookin' waves for me

Put wax on my board and headed to the shore

In hopes of some waves that would end my day

I ran across the street with my board in my hand

Jumped over the bike path into the sand

Dipped into the Sea lookin' straight ahead of me

To get my daily dosage of mental clarity.

Watching the sun touch the horizon line

All things considered I was feelin' fine.

[Chorus]

I ended it the right way

May not have started out my way.

So fill up your jeans with your favorite things

'Cuz nothing can be brighter than what life brings.

Just take a walk with me to the emerald sea

We'll sail to the bay, walk through the trees,

Just forget about the people that stress you out the most

Stretch out your legs and enjoy the coast.

I had my problems in the middle of the day

But the sunset came and took my problems away.

[Chorus]
